Plugin Open BIM - Revit

The Plugin converts piping systems into native Revit families, including connections and offers different levels of integration: IFC links, detailing and analyses.

More information
  • 2026.b

Options have been added to the Open BIM - Revit Plugin to assign colours to pipe systems, show or hide links, and view their content.

The Open BIM - Revit Plugin interface has been optimised with colour filters for reinforcement and transparencies in structural elements.

  • 2026.b

A new toolbar has been added to the plugin's main interface to improve the accessibility and organisation of the options. It is structured in two main sections: "Settings" and "Tools".

Settings

The configuration section brings together options for customisation, conversion control and IFC data management.

  • IFC options
    Defines specific configurations for the import and export of models in IFC format.

Tools

The tool section includes additional tools for viewing, filtering and managing structural models, making it easier to navigate and analyse BIM content.

  • Applying transparencies to structural elements
    Modifies the visibility of certain structural categories in the Revit model quickly and also applies them to the views of the user's choice, without the need to modify the visibility and graphics editor in the Revit interface.

    • The categories that will be available for this tool are:
      • Floors
      • Walls
      • Structural columns
      • Structural frame
      • Ramps
      • Structural foundations
      • Stairs
  • Assign colour filters to reinforcements
    This tool can be used to assign colours to the rebars according to their diameter for the available views selected by the user without the need to create a filter for each one of them. The colours can be customised by the user, as well as the series of colours used in the original design program.
  • Information on levels
    This provides specific details on project levels, facilitating project analysis and organisation.
  • Search instance
    Facilitates the location of instances within the Revit project.

It is now possible to work in collaborative environments by storing central models both in third-party platforms and in Autodesk's own cloud: Construction Cloud. This ensures the correct functioning of the Plugin's features and tools in a collaborative work environment.

As well as the conversion of the structural elements "piles" themselves, in this 2025.d version, the possibility of converting the reinforcement of the piles into native entities within Revit has been incorporated.

This means that the reinforcement associated with these elements can be imported and recognised as native elements in the Revit model.

  • 2025.d

In this update, two new categories have been added to the Revit native entity converter: IfcPile and IfcMember, to extend and improve the classification and conversion of structural elements.

  • IfcPile
    Corresponds to deep foundation elements, specifically piles, which are topped by a pile cap. With this incorporation, these elements can be correctly identified within the IFC model and, subsequently, converted to native elements within Revit.
  • IfcMember
    Represents steel bar-type elements that are part of a structural assembly. With its implementation, these bars will be classified as column elements or beam elements, depending on their function within the structure, thus allowing their conversion to native elements without loss of information.

  • 2025.d

In version 2025.d, the ability to convert steel structures and 3D models integrated into native elements within the Revit environment has been added.

This feature can be used to import projects from CYPECAD or CYPE 3D that contain steel or composite structural components and their subsequent conversion to native Revit entities.

As of version 2025.d, when clicking the "Share" option of the apps (before starting the generation of the contribution files), a check is made to ensure that the user is part of the BIMserver.center project team. If the user does not have the appropriate permissions, a warning message is displayed. This prevents the generation of unnecessary files when the user does not have editing rights.

More information
  • 2025.d

As of version 2025.d, the "Project selection" window in the apps connected to BIMserver.center incorporates a new notification system to inform users about the latest new features on the platform.

This space displays relevant messages about new features, enhancements and recommendations related to BIMserver.center. In addition, direct links to documents, tutorials and additional resources will be included to facilitate the adoption of these new features.

Version 2025.c of the Open BIM - Revit Plugin includes the following improvements and corrections to the program:

  • Sorting IFC links in the "Open BIM Collaboration" panel
    A new tool that sorts previously imported IFC links in the "Open BIM Collaboration" panel has been implemented.
  • Selecting several IFCs from the same contribution
    When linking a BIMserver.center project to Revit, if the contribution to be imported contains two or more IFC files, users can specifically select the IFC files to be imported, without the need to load all of them.
  • "Link to Open BIM project" option is available

    In version 2025.b of the Open BIM - Revit Plugin, when generating a new model in Revit to link a contribution from BIMserver.centre, the "Link to Open BIM project" tool was not available until the job was saved for the first time and the Plugin obtained a path.
  • In version 2025.c, when a new Revit model is created, the "Link to Open BIM project" tool is available from the beginning.

    If this tool is used without recording the job, a warning like the one in the image will appear.

  • "Link Open BIM project" option
    When creating a new Revit model in version 2025.c, the "Link to Open BIM project" tool also appears in the "Open BIM Collaboration" side menu.

Previously, the conversion of stairs was carried out with a model group. This model group grouped together "sloping floors" (staircase landing), "floors" (staircase landings) and "walls" (stair support walls)  but the steps were not visible.

In this new version 2025.c, the set of these elements will be considered in Revit as a native staircase and the steps will be distinguished.

In previous versions of the Open BIM - Revit Plugin, the structural element "Stairs" was converted to Revit native entities by a "model group" consisting of "Floors", "Sloping floors" and "Walls".

In version 2025.c, the 100% native generation of the "Stairs" element has been implemented.

Just like in previous versions of the Plugin, as can be seen in the family assignment panel, both the family of the spans of the staircase and the family of the landings and walls must be entered. The type of staircase must also be selected. If the specific families are not available, users can ‘create a duplicate’ to create a family identical to the geometry imported from the structural design program.
